Stanford University visits Tambopata
On September 15th, a group of 33 students, alumni, and faculty and friends of Stanford University gathered in the lobby of Refugio Amazonas to reflect upon their 5 days in the rainforest. Despite their range of ages (from age 9 to age 80), the group seemed to fit together naturally as they took turns and listened intently to each other’s highlights from the trip. Taylor, a sophomore at Stanford explained it in his own words.
